Nanomaterials attract tremendous attention in recent researches. Although extensive research has been done in this field it still lacks a comprehensive reference work that presents data on properties of different Nanomaterials. This Handbook of Nanomaterials Properties will be the first single reference work that brings together the various properties with wide breadth and scope.

Nanomaterials are becoming increasingly important because of their unique
properties. Although extensive research has been done in this field, it still lacks
a comprehensive reference work that presents data on properties of different
nanomaterials. This Handbook of Nanomaterials Properties is an authoritative
and comprehensive reference covering all properties of nanomaterials available
both commercially and being developed in various labs with some level of
reproducibility. The properties being reported should be relevant to all
researchers across various industries and related scientific disciplines. This is
the first single reference work that brings together the various properties with
wide breadth and scope.
The handbook contains chapters on individual nanomaterials containing various
properties available in the literature. Contextual text about the processing, size, etc.,
has been added to make property information meaningful. The handbook covers all
types of materials including inorganic, organic, biological, and hybrid materials.
The morphologies and nanostructures of all kinds are covered including nanowires,
nanotubes, nanorods, nanoparticles, and nanosheets.
The handbook is aimed at researchers and students who need reliable sources to
find relevant information/data for their work. Such an electronic platform – with its
advanced search functionalities – should be an invaluable resource for anyone
working with these materials. To make the book completely searchable (using
advanced search functions), each chapter of the book is thoroughly indexed and
annotated – right down to the chemical composition of the material as well as its
properties and applications.
The handbook is a part of Springer’s database on materials called Springer-
Materials (which also contains the Landolt-Bo¨rnstein book series). It is an online
database on materials and their properties. Currently, SpringerMaterials is the
largest database of its kind and contains over 100,000 documents on approximately
250,000 chemical substances. SpringerMaterials contains over 400 volumes of the
Landolt-Bo¨rnstein book series and over 277,000 data sheets on structure/diffraction
data, phase diagrams, and physical properties and other databases.
